Feck off!!! We've spent the last year telling Jim how shite they are!:whistle::wink::hahaha:

I'm fairly sure they'll adopt the policy of banking orders and doing a run when they deem demand is enough. Common practice these days for manufacturers. Of course, they'll put the prices where they want.
:bigcry:

As mentioned before, I guess the CSL will pass into their Classic's department quite soon.

I know a guy who once bought 100 alfa romeo bonnets thinking the same thing. They never stopped producing the bloody things :-D
(cant remember the model btw)

That would be just my luck,if I fell into a barrel of tits I'd come up sucking my thumb.

There is a new oem M3 CSL carbon roof on German EBay if anyone wants one to put in there shed as an investment,they'll be like rockinghorse shit in a couple of years.:wink:

Have just gotten the official word back from BMW NZ here ... correct, majority of CSL parts are now "No Longer Available".

What remains is it ...

time to buy a parts car me thinks :whistle:

There are quite a few parts now NLA for my E30. eBay is usually your friend in such instances, although I don't fancy my chances of sourcing an Alpina ECU, or for that matter a CSL roof, too quickly

[northernjim]

I agree with Pooky, look at old fat fingers and the seats he keeps getting replaced, all made in the initial production run

From my experience with NLA E30 SportEvo parts, BMW will wait for the request que to fill up to some critical mass and then reproduce a missing part.

this is what happens with parts for my rusty old ford, once the initial stock has gone.... although certain items you just cannot get anymore. It depends on whether bmw can actually get the part anymore, whether it is too cost prohibitive or if they can be bothered!

Well if this is true then looks like im pretty much buggered as I was really looking forward to getting an OEM CSL roof for my M3 in the near future.

My brother was telling me yesterday that BMW (and others in EU) has a legal obligation to supply parts for 40 years from the production date of the car.

Any proof on that?

Thanks.

Would be good if we could get a definitive view from BMW on all the CSL specific parts and whether they will supply them.

No idea how you go about that though

I will have a definitive answer in a few days, but again, I would be very surprised if you cannot have the roof even if it means to wait for 3,6,8 months.

As a side note, you can order pretty much anything for the E12 and E21.
Why not all parts for a special and quite expensive E46 ?
